The Goa job scam has shocked the state, exposing a well-organized network that allegedly involves politicians, government officials, and intermediaries. Rajesh Sawal, a prominent voice in the ongoing debate, emphasized the need for transparency and a thorough investigation into the scam. Sawal pointed out that such schemes exploit the desperation of job-seekers, with victims often pledging their savings or gold to secure employment.
The scam reportedly involves a racket where candidates were duped into paying large sums under the promise of government jobs. Several arrests have been made, including government servants and educators, with accusations pointing towards political collusion. Calls have been made to hand over the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a comprehensive probe into the scam’s roots.
Many activists and former ministers have urged the government to take action against “big sharks” suspected of orchestrating the scam. This case highlights the broader issue of corruption in government job recruitments in Goa, with voices like Sawal’s urging systemic reforms to prevent further exploitation.
